Hi all,
we can happily report, that Codex v2.0.0-rc.1 has been successfully
released and rolled out with MediaWiki v1.45.0-wmf.1 train this
Tuesday to be ready for testing on
https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/

We would like to repeat that you test your extensions and Codex design
tokens, icons or components using interface specifically with Vector
client preferences font scaling.
Additionally we would like to ask if there are findings and tasks to
be filed, to reference them to testing this release on beta
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T392379

Thanks,
Volker E. on behalf of the Design System Team
